Analysis: Williams failed to make the team after he turned 11 carries into 60 yards this preseason. Additionally, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the running back isn't expected to return to Green Bay's practice squad, so he'll be looking for a new team.

Williams had five carries for 24 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Saints.
Analysis: Williams has run the ball eight times through two exhibition contests, and he is averaging a healthy 6.6 yards per tote.

Williams signed a contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Williams most recently played in the USFL for the Philadelphia Stars, but he started his professional career with the Packers. The 2019 sixth-round pick made seven appearances during his first two seasons with Green Bay, totaling 17 offensive snaps and 62 special-teams snaps. The Packers aren't planning on playing Aaron Jones or AJ Dillon during the preseason opener, and Kylin Hill (knee) remains on the PUP list, so the 25-year-old Williams will likely operate as an emergency back behind Patrick Taylor, Tyler Goodson and B.J. Baylor against the 49ers on Friday.

Analysis: Williams was added to the Browns' practice squad while they dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak to their running back room.

Analysis: With Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Browns added Williams to provide some depth to their backfield. The 2019 sixth-round pick has spent time on both the Packers' and Giants' practice squads this season. Both Chubb and Felton could play in Sunday's contest if they are able to clear COVID-19 protocols, but it's possible Williams could split the backup role with Brian Hill in the event neither are cleared.

Williams was released by the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: The third-year running back running back ran for a respectable 4.8 yards on 17 carries over the Packers' three preseason games, but he resided at or near the bottom of the depth chart the entire time, and the Packers ultimately decided to drop the 2019 sixth-round pick. Only three running backs are likely to occupy spots on Green Bay's roster heading into Week 1, so Williams could take a place on the practice squad.

Williams had eight carries for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.
Analysis: Williams got twice as many chances to run the ball as he did in the Packers' preseason opener, but he did not do much with the extra opportunities and remains in the fifth spot at his position on the depth chart with just one exhibition game remaining.

Williams reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Williams garnered four snaps on special teams and three more on offense during a Sunday night win over the Titans, but the 23-year-old didn't get any work on the ground as he did during his last appearance Week 9. A knee injury kept Williams on the practice squad injured list between Nov. 11 and Dec. 15, but now he's available once again to provide depth to Green Bay's backfield when called upon.
